Wonderful Job!

24 men and young men join from 4 outposts to share in a 28 hour survival campout.  We had a great time learning Wilderness Survival, Primitive Snares, Primitive Shelters and even knocked off a Orienteering Course requirement.  Pictures say it all.  If you don't do this with your Rangers your missing out on one of the best camps ever.  As the boys learn skills they discover raw foods that they prepare and enjoy.  Corn on the cob, Potatoe, 3 eggs and yes they eat worms....gummie worms. GRIN!  It's all good and it's all ADVENTURE.  If you need a good plan on one of these holler.  This one works.  3 years in the running and it keeps growing.
